Seemed like we could use a thread for the Euro Tour, but not a thread every week.

Anyway - I watched the end of the 3rd round of the Saudi International event.
Haoton LI finished the round eagle/eagle; giving him 4 eagles for the day. 3 of them on par 4's, 2 of them chipping in. So his 62 puts him into a tie with DJ, going into tomorrow; that's a 62 with 2 birdies.

This week the European tour is in Australia, playing the Super 6 event. It is an interesting format, quite a change of pace from the weekly norm

The first 3 rounds are stroke play, cut to low 65 plus ties after 36, final cut to 24 after the 3rd round; playoff to get the field to 24. Sunday is match play, with matches being 6 holes. The top 8 seeds get a bye.
So Sunday is a 6 rounds of 6-hole matches to get to the winner, each round has a knockout hole if there is a tie.
Last years winner was Kiradech Aphibarnrat - who made it through a 9 man playoff to reach the final 24, and won matches in knockout holes.

It hasn't been too cold in NC, but it has been as wet as I can remember. I have played once this week, and it has rained every day, and is supposed to rain this weekend. I've played less this winter than any winter in recent memory. Hurry up spring!

Also happening on the LPGA:
The full videos doesn't show it, but I'm wondering if Olson gave a sign or something to Jutanugarn not to mark here. Jutanugarn goes to start marking her ball, it looks like, and she looks over at Olson, motioning something, and immediately stops. This seems awfully close to the line, if not over it.
LPGA apparently deleted a tweet about this, too:
Yikes.

I chose time because a lot of people I know don't want to play because it's too long for them and they don't have the time. Also here in Canada, Quebec accessibility is starting to be an issue, probably more than in the U.S. A lot of golf course are sold to property developers and it's starting to limit the choices of course at close range. I don't think money is an issue, there is always deals you can find to play golf at a discount and other activities cost as much as golf these days.
